Prenatal diagnosis of combined methylmalonic acidemia and homocystinuria cobalamin C type using clinical exome sequencing and targeted gene analysis
Abstract Background Combined methylmalonic acidemia and homocystinuria is a rare inherited disorder of intracellular cobalamin metabolism caused by biallelic variants in one of the following genes: MMACHC (cblC), MMADHC (cblD), LMBRD1 (cblF), ABCD4 (cblJ), THAP11 (cblX‐like), and ZNF143 (cblX‐like),...
